An Indianapolis native, Ed Carpenter is an oval specialist. Driving for his team, Ed Carpenter Racing, Carpenter is scheduled to race on the oval tracks in the 2024 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season. His goal each season is to win the Indianapolis 500, ideally as a driver but he would also be thrilled to have a teammate win. Away from the track, you might see Carpenter at a local Indianapolis sporting event since he is a fan of the Indianapolis Colts, the Indiana Pacers and his alma mater, the Butler University Bulldogs.
